Frankly speaking, Lancashire’s driving a new DVD campaign

15 November 2007

A new superhero fighting for the good of public transport is the star of a DVD for the nation’s 4,000 bus drivers.

The film Frank Foster superstar? is the creation of Lancashire County Council’s safer travel unit as part of its bid to improve public transport. Lancashire County Council safer travel unit manager, Rick Wilson, explained: ‘This is the first time anything like this has been done on this scale in the UK and we have been amazed by the enthusiasm that’s been shown so far.

‘We started off with an idea to produce a DVD as a way to tackle all the important issues that bus drivers face each day. But the project has now developed into a comprehensive package of resources that bus companies can use to train their drivers.’

Frank Foster is actually played by Tim Paley, who has 20 years experience of driving buses in Lancashire as well as acting experience in Emmerdale, Heartbeat and Phoenix Nights.
